> I haven't been on this discussion list for a while, but Don forwarded this
thread to me and resubscribed me. Although I've done a lot of work on
Nabokov's prefaces, I haven't published it (yet). My dissertation (1984,
State University of New York at Buffalo), entitled "At the Threshold of the
Text: The Rhetoric of Prefaces to Novels," was on the history and rhetoric
of prefaces, with lengthy discussions of both _Don Quixote_ and _Lolita_
(and briefer discussions of Nabokov's prefatory texts as a whole). An
article on the relationship between Nabokov's/Ray's foreword and Nabokov's
Afterword in _Lolita_ (and the idea of authorship) was accepted for
publication in a journal quite a while ago contingent on revisions which
have gotten deferred as other non-Nabokov writing projects have intervened.
I've given a couple of presentations related to this work at VN Society
sessions at the MLA over the years.
